Manager Lee Johnson has hailed the youngster's impact and is dreaming of signing him permanently.

"If there was a 0.000000001% chance to sign Tammy permanently I'd be starting the whip round! We're also setting ourselves up for the next Tammy Abraham hopefully and that shouldn't be forgotten," Johnson said.

"Who knows what could happen. We could get Tammy for another season on loan or Chelsea could give him a new deal and make him captain!

The Blues will be delighted with his form and development under Johnson with an exciting season ahead after his incredible start to life in the Championship.

A favourable run of games coming up leans towards more goals for Abraham, too, with a home contest against Nottingham Forest is followed by trips to relegation strugglers Cardiff and mid-table QPR.

Abraham is now third favourite (8/1) to be the Championship's top scorer, such is his rise, with Gayle out in front at 3/1, Hogan 6/1. Other contenders include Brighton's Glenn Murray at 12/1 and Aston Villa's Ross McCormack at 16/1.
